Praise for How to Fake It in Society:
"An absolute romp of a book. Genderbent Georgette Heyer-style antics. I read it in one glorious day."—T. Kingfisher
"Charles combines a rollicking tale of murder, mayhem, and vengeance with a gorgeous romance about an adorably awkward hero and the rogue who sweeps him off his feet. A five-star read, as always." – Talia Hibbert, USA Today bestselling author
"How to Fake it in Society contains the usual KJ Charles charms: a smart, snappy voice; total yet easy immersion in another place and time; and irresistible characters who fall in love by truly seeing each other. But the real catnip for me was that this novel is also a treatise on the power of art, art being one of the consolations of the particular timeline we modern people find ourselves in."--Jenny Holiday, USA Today bestselling author of Canadian Boyfriend
"KJ Charles has an unmatched talent for putting uniquely lovable characters into uniquely riveting situations and in How to Fake it in Society, this talent is on full display. Charles takes a delightfully madcap premise and turns it into a tender, charming, and often hilarious love story. Come for the romance, stay for the conversations about what makes the perfect green pigment (hint: poison). I'm already looking forward to reading it again." – Emma Törzs, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ink Blood Sister Scribe
"How to Fake It in Society was so much fun I immediately tore through another half-dozen KJ Charles books. This one was absolutely delightful -- fun, gripping, funny, and hot."—Naomi Kritzer
"Titus and Nico’s relationship is both sweet and steamy—and it’s well-balanced against a darker subplot that adds intrigue...will leave readers satisfied." – Kirkus, starred review

"Sparkling... [This] tale of intrigue, social pressure, and forbidden love is sure to please." – Publishers Weekly
